	[Bearfolks] Crisis at the gates of Waterton Lakes National Park
		Dear All, As I am sure many if you are aware, Waterton Lakes National Park is under threat from subdivision and housing development on its periphery, which has been approved by Cardston County Council.
		Although benefiting from the protection of its status as a national park, Waterton is in fact very small, being about one sixth the size of its American neighbour, Glacier National Park, an extent which, in its own right, is very marginal with consideration of the needs of large territory-requiring mammals such as bears and wolves.
		The implications of this, in sum, and with particular regard to subdivision at Waterton, is particularly important with regard to bears.
